Check HER out!

I have been thinking for awhile now that I need to pay it forward a bit more on this little ol' blog. So many of my bloggy friends have highlighted my projects and I think it's about time I start doing the same for others!

I see so many projects out there I am completely inspired by, so I am going to start sharing them with you as well. Without further adue... ado? Adeu? Whatever, here we go...

You HAVE to go check out Censational Girl. She found me a couple weeks ago and her blog is one of my favorites right now. Another sister of mine separated at birth I say...there are so many of you out there. Huh. Anyway...look at the tree she painted in her daughter's room: AND she made it look easy. Ummm, OK, she clearly rocks. Mine would look like a tree on steroids or something.

Have any of you seen those ceramic lettered balls out there? We carry them at the decor firm I work for and want them SO BAD! I just can't imagine spending so much money on them. Holly over at Homebody Holly shows how to make your own lettered spheres:

I love it!! It's so so so sad that I've been looking for ping pong balls at Goodwill to do this in the cheapest way possible. Sad.

Do you ever see stuff on the side of the street and drive by it 15 times, trying to decide if you're going to look like a lunatic, jumping out of your car and stuffing it in? (I found a beauty a couple weeks ago, but called my sister to go pick it up cause I was "busy" -- I was just making her do my dirty work.) Well, Karla at It's the Little Things That Make a House a Home did the same and turned a headboard into this:

I absolutely LOVE the bench!! It's so shabby chic! I love what you create. You are definitely talented and inspire me to be better. I wish I was an interior designer. I should've done that instead of Psychology...

But hey, I have a layouts blog and I just posted some shabby chic layouts if you would like to look at them!

I've added myself to your list of fans. I know I'll be stopping by frequently to see your wonderful work!

Sarah~thank you sooo much for the shout-out. I loved the others you shared as well~the creativeness in blogland never ceases to amaze... and btw, *love* your new profile pic but I'm still wondering when you're going to pose like Jillian in front of your closets...

Thanks for sharing all these ideas. I just recently found your blog and I've added it to my favorites list of those I visit for inspiration. I swear, blogging is the most addicting thing; not my personal blogging, but reading everyone else's blogs! It's the best time spent ev-er!!!

I have never posted here before...just drooled for hours over all your amazing projects! You are amazing. Funny thing is, I don't even know you and now I see something and think, I bet she'd like "this"...Well, today I saw this:

Hopefully that is a link to a really cute "cork" board---so cheap you may as well just buy it from them! I just remember all your "cork" posts. Hope you like!

Thanks for the shout out Sarah ! That bench transformation is TDF. I just saw a headboard at the local thrift and I'm heading back tomorrow to pick it up and TOTALLY COPY that idea. Don't you just love creative bloggers ?

How nice of you!! Um......ya..so I'll have to think up something really good soon b/c I know you're just dying to feature me. :)

I also gasped out loud when I saw that bench. Oh.MY.Gosh. I LOVE it!! I soooooo want one of those!! I routinely scour the curbs for junk, and it's community clean up time, so I'll have to get there before those crazy flea market sellers grab them up. They literally drive around loading up the back of their truck.

Ok, you've made me blush! So glad that you like my bench - and thanks a million for featuring me on your blog!

Oh, and I have to add (in response to what you wrote about it)...I am certain that I looked like a lunatic trying to get it into the back of my van! I wouldn't doubt if the neighbors were all watching me from their windows and laughing! That sucker was heavy! But totally worth it!

Sarah, I'm new to your blog! I'm so glad I found you though! Super ideas! Each one has a tremendous wealth of creativity! I have a new granddaughter just born recently, that knob idea with the silk floral behind it is precious! Her room is Lavendar and green with pink accents, so this would tie in beautifully! Hey, I'm celebrating Mother's Day on my blog this week...deadline to enter is Mother's Day at midnight, PDT. Please feel free to drop over and enter...there are a variety of gifts I'm giving away and there are two different ways you can enter! AuRevoir~ ~CC Catherine from "Catherine de th`e Cup"

My husband and I both got a chuckle out of this post! We have done this so many times. Looking around, seeing who is watching before we grab someone's trash and speed away! I totally need to do that bench project. I have an old bed in my basement just screaming for some love.~Michelle
